Īs of 2018, the Hideout has a patio-like front porch with picnic table seating, a front bar located in the original building, and a back performance area inside the 1954 addition. In 2020, Katie Tuten used her experience as co-chair of the Chicago Independent Venue League (CIVL) to help found the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA), which campaigns for public funding to help keep performance venues, such as the Hideout, solvent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of the end of 2019, the Tutens and Hinchsliffs continue to co-own and co-run the Hideout. Once she found the bar around 1986, she and Tim Tuten became regulars there. Katie Tuten's father had been a regular at The Hideout when it was an unmarked bar whose location was not widely shared. Phil Favia died in 1994 in 1996, Eleanor Favia sold the bar to Tim Tuten, a Chicago Public Schools teacher, his wife Katie Tuten, who worked for Catholic Charities, and identical twin brothers Mike Hinchsliff, a paper salesman, and Jim Hinchsliff, a financial analyst. The Favia family ran the Hideout as an unmarked bar until 1996, during which time it was frequented by locals employed in area warehouses and factories such as U.S. His nephew Phil Favia and Phil's wife Eleanor “Chuckie” Favia helped Sax build the back room with their honeymoon money in 1954. In 1947, Angelo "Sax" Favia took over the Hideout. Anecdotally, it came to be called the "Hideout" because of its remote location in an industrial, non-residential zone filled with factories and warehouses next to where the Chicago Department of Fleet Management stored snow plows until about 2016. In 1934, after Prohibition ended, it became a legal bar with the name the "Hideout". In 1916, the building became a public house, which began serving alcohol around 1919 as a prohibition-era neighborhood tavern and speakeasy.
The Hideout is a balloon-frame house built in 1881 as a boarding house for nearby factory workers.
